'As always these collections present a wealth of material covering an enormous range, all of which will be essential reading for those interested in understanding modern British politics.' - Contemporary Review'[The Review] has established a reputation for bringing cutting edge research speedily into the public domain and encouraging younger scholars. This volume is no exception.' - Parliamentary Affairs'Some time ago I reviewed volume six of this series ... on the evidence of that, and the one under review, I am likely to be put to the expense of buying the rest of the series, such is their value for classroom teachers as well as academics.' - Talking Politics
